=Haling Park=, 53, the seat of W. P. Hammond, Esq. Charles Howard, the celebrated Lord High Admiral of Elizabeth, held it by lease of the crown, and died here in 1624. The fine grove in the park contains a great number of choice exotics and ever-greens. =Hall Place=, 96, the seat of ---- Dillon, Esq. The house is a neat building, pleasantly situated in a small, but elegantly diversified, park, surrounded with woody hills, interspersed with cultivated grounds. =Hall Place=, 176. =Hall Place=, 99. Hallet, J. Esq. 8. (_see Higham_) =Halnaker House=, 40, 216, a seat of the Duke of Richmond. The house has been suffered to go to decay; but it is remarkable, as containing two curfews, as old as the reign of William the Conqueror. =Halstead=, 17. Hammond, W. P. Esq. 53. (_see Haling Park_) =Hampton Court Park=, 24. In this park stands a royal Palace, originally built with brick, by Cardinal Wolsey, who set up 280 silk beds for strangers only, and richly furnished it with gold and silver plate; but it raised so much envy against him, that, to screen himself from its effects, he gave it to Henry VIII. who, in return, suffered him to live in his palace at Richmond. Henry enlarged it, and it then consisted of five spacious courts, adorned with buildings, which, in that age, were greatly admired. Of the splendour of this palace we have few remains. The ancient apartments still standing, having been originally used merely as domestic offices, can convey no idea of the times in which they were built. The principal part of the old palace was taken down in 1690, and the present structure was raised by King William, under the direction of Sir Christopher Wren. The grand façade towards the garden extends 330 feet, and that towards the Thames 328. The portico and colonnade of duplicated pillars, of the Ionic order, at the grand entrance; and indeed the general design of these elevations, are in a superior style of magnificence.
